Core Viewpoint - The successful launch of the first twelve satellites of the "Three-body Computing Constellation" marks the beginning of China's first fully interconnected space computing network, aimed at enhancing satellite data processing efficiency and enabling real-time data handling in space [1][2]. Group 1: Project Overview - The "Three-body Computing Constellation" is designed to overcome the limitations of traditional satellite data processing, which relies on ground-based systems and often results in less than 10% of effective satellite data being transmitted back to Earth [2]. - The project is a collaboration led by Zhijiang Laboratory, aiming to create a large-scale space computing infrastructure with a target of deploying thousands of satellites [2][4]. Group 2: Technical Capabilities - The constellation will enable real-time data processing in orbit, significantly improving the efficiency of satellite data handling and facilitating the application of artificial intelligence in space [2]. - The satellites are equipped with onboard intelligent computing systems and inter-satellite communication systems, allowing for integrated satellite networking and in-orbit computing capabilities [4]. Group 3: Future Developments - Plans are underway to launch over 50 additional computing satellites this year, with the goal of achieving a total space computing capacity of 1000P (one quintillion floating-point operations per second) upon completion of the constellation [4]. - The core payload of the computing satellites includes advanced onboard computers that enhance processing power from Tera-scale to Peta-scale, achieving a 10-100 times improvement in computational capability [5].
